Thursday May 21, 2026 10:15am - 11:30am PDT
This training equips educators to respond to problem behavior with confidence—without relying on punitive measures. Grounded in ABA, participants learn to catch students doing the right thing, teach coping and replacement skills, and build reinforcement-rich environments. By viewing behavior deficits as teachable skills, this therapeutic (though not talk-based) approach strengthens regulation, resilience, and student mental health.

Participants will:
  • Feel better equipped to respond to problem behavior in the classroom
  • Be less reliant on corrective and punitive measures to handle problem behavior
  • Understand how positive reinforcement and teaching coping skills and replacement behaviors promote better mental health
